Catch up on the final of last weeks
Chapter 5
Just Mat planning, but I still found it interesting
The world is drying up - a continuation of the "weather" sub plot from the very first chapter of the Eye of the World
Talmanes has shaved his head like a soldier and isn't wearing stripes to indicate his noble rank - a few other nobles are doing similar
Mat grew up watching his father trade horseflesh. Who with? Does the Two Rivers breed particularly good horses?
Mat talks to Betsy and she gets the better, Talmanes hums "a frog on the ice" - I really like Talmanes
Mat again says his final memory is the final battle of Artur Hawkwing's rise - I wonder why?
The band is 6000 strong and more want to join every day. Mat has divided it into equal sized squadrons, which seem about 500 each
Mat has sent soap to the refugee camps, but most don't want it - he really is generous and considerate, as much as he wants to deny it
Mat thinks that it was always Rand who had a way with women - him and Perrin
We meet Olver, who is ugly enough to be Gaidal Cain, but much too old
I was amused by "you tell her I said you can have one, she can't stop you" to Olver about a batch
A sea folk delegation arrives - obviously, they are seeking Rand
Nalesean's troops contain Defenders of the Stone - just what is the make up of the Band. Are they still Defenders?
Mention of Comadrin - Mat suspects no copies of his book exist, though Roedran somehow has a couple
Chapter 6
Graendal was the one who accepted Sammael when he pledged to the Shadow
Graendal has taken the Sh'boan and the person who was tobe Sh'botay. I don't t think we ever learn what effect that had on Shara
She is in a palace, well known across Arad Doman, within sight of the Mountains of Mist, posing as an old and feeble noble
Semirhage missed the last gathering - Is she on the boat from Seandar? Can people travel to/from a moving boat?
Sammael thinks events to the south had Demandred's mark all over - which events are these? The landing of the Seanchan? If so, Sammael is wrong
Sammale asks fo the Ayaad "do they bind themselves like criminals" - he is referring to aes Sedai/ Graendal feigns confusion on this
We learn Mesaana is in the White Tower
Semirhage is torturing Cabriana - is this why she missed the meeting?
Semirhage is a sadist. She thinks on how if she had allowed them to bind her, she would have seen the end of her life approaching - apparently the binding shortens lives
Semrihage has a charge - a willful and obdurate girl. Tuon of course, but we couldn't suspect this until we meet her
No one - not the forsaken or the Myrddraal themselves know how they dissapear into shadows
Semirhage didn't kill Asmodean, and Mesaana almost certainly didn't - there doesn't seem much point in her faking not being sure if she did it
